If you had the choice of gaining one superhero power, what would it be? Would you run fast like the Flash, be super strong like Superman, or shoot fire like the Human Torch? Well if you asked Everett Bradford, chances are he would go with the flame shooting ability. However, Everett doesn’t need super powers for that. In fact, he can shoot flames from his hands right now thanks to his pyrotechnical invention.

Called Prometheus, this nasty little device is the 3rd generation of wrist mounted flame throwers that Everett has designed. It works by using a micro-controlled servo that manipulates the flow of a butane/propane tank strapped under his arm in conjunction with an arc generator as the ignition source. In essence, it works by wrist action and the farther his wrist is pulled back, the tank valve opens wider creating more flame.

I don’t know about you folks, but I’d stay clear of this project for fear of becoming a human flambé rather than the Human Torch. Still, Prometheus would come mighty in handy at outdoor birthday parties. Just think, you could use it to light the grill or you could use it to light all the candles on the cake in one shot.
